BLOG -- Recap of December

December was pretty eventful until I got a bad cough. The coughing has lessened but my ribs and chest ache now whenever I cough or lie down. Hopefully I'll recover fully before the next month is over. ><

Outings / Events in December:

- Had a gathering with old friends. It was nice seeing them again.

- Had a voice chat with my LINE friends. It was a fun time!

- Had another gathering with old friends. It was a great time!

- Had a Christmas eve gathering with my boyfriend's sister's husband's relatives. The food was very delicious.

That's it for December. Here are some pics and screenshots I took this month plus a YouTube video.

Some snacks for one of the gatherings.

Lunch for another one of the gatherings.

I tried making this red lentil soup for the first time. It tasted pretty good.

I got Swimsuit Seia in Blue Archive after the end of the 100 free pulls.

Swimsuit Nagisa came after about 120 pulls.

Swimsuit Mika did not come after 400 pulls so I pitied her.

"Balatro #1|VOD 12.17.25" by StephenVOD. It was very interesting watching how Stephen played Balatro for the first time, especially since he is not familiar with Poker. The video is over 3 hours long.

Thanks for reading! The next blog will be the usual long end-of-year blog that will sum up 2025. After that I'll focus on getting the Japan blogs out. I know I've been very tardy with them ^^;

As usual, if you have any questions / comments about anything, feel free.

Take care and until next time! And Happy New Year!! :)
